145 West 67th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on the Upper West Side, near Lincoln Center. The outdoor seating area provides a small public amenity in the culturally rich neighborhood surrounding the performing arts campus.
West 67th Street between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West has been known as 'Artists' Row' since the early 20th century, when the Hotel des Artistes and other buildings designed with double-height studio spaces attracted painters, sculptors, and other creative professionals.
The Hotel des Artistes at 1 West 67th Street, built in 1917, housed residents including Norman Rockwell, Isadora Duncan, Noel Coward, and Rudolph Valentino. The street's artistic heritage predates Lincoln Center by decades.
The POPS serves the residential community of the Upper West Side and visitors to Lincoln Center, providing outdoor seating in a neighborhood where the cultural density creates constant pedestrian activity, particularly during performance seasons.
This small space exists on one of the most artistically significant residential streets in Manhattan, connecting the performing arts tradition of Lincoln Center to the visual arts legacy of the Hotel des Artistes.
